Chip's 'Top-Rated' (7-0) MLB Megabucks (Braves/Phillies)
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -130.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
Atlanta at Philadelphia 6:05 ET
Phillies over Braves- My first though is 'how many times do these two play each other?' This is the eighth meeting already this season as each has played about 1/3rd of their games against each other with Atlanta holding a 4-3 series lead. There are two trends surrounding this game that can not be ignored. To start with Philadelphia is 5-0 in Nick Pivetta's (1-0, 2.57 ERA) starts while the Braves are now 1-11 in Mike Foltynewicz's (1-1, 2.77) last 12 starts. Add that the Phillies are 13-4 in their last 17 overall and 22-8 in their last 30 home games...take PHILADELPHIA!
